Thanksgiving is a delicious holiday! But there’s more to the holiday than turkeys and pumpkin pies. To celebrate and learn more about the holiday here is a list of the best Thanksgiving books for kids.
Thanksgiving is my kids least favorite holiday. The only item of food they like to eat is pumpkin pie. And that’s because they get to have whipped cream on top:)
Even though it’s not their favorite holiday I still like to read Thanksgiving-themed books to help them. It helps them to have a better understanding of what Thanksgiving is about.
I want them to know that it’s not about eating turkey and pumpkin pie. It’s about being thankful for what you have. It’s also a good opportunity to teach them about the history of the first Thanksgiving.
